This concordance was inspired by a reader's comment who said he was mostly joking. I took it as a challenge. The challenge was to generate a full concordance of the text of the RCV using the Python programming language and Linux commands (mainly grep and sed), with the files formatted in AsciiDoc. The result is what you see here in this code repository. I hope you find this concordance to be useful in your studies.
